Ji Dong Won-- If he somehow makes the bench, unlikely to play. UPDATE: Ji moves to BL2's Eintracht Braunschweig (Brunswick and also former club of Ryu Seung Woo). I don't know his fitness or integration but one day seems too soon for more than a sub role.
Hwang Ui Jo-- Should start and hope to continue his good form.
Paik Seung Ho-- With Darmstadt starting to drift to relegation zone and Paik's poor showing, got put benched and with a narrow lead, didn't get to come on.
Lee Jae Sung-- Played 90 in a draw. Shuold start again.
Yun Il Lok-- Seems unlikely to play but given poor run of form, maybe comes on late as a sub.
Hwang Hee Chan-- We'll find out if rumors of a loan/sale are true. That said, might be hard to tell if he's just parked on the bench which would be my suspicion.
Lee Kang In-- Played 90 but not a good sign as Valencia were pummeled and the cup match was a lost cause from early on. LKI didn't help with a lot of turnovers but the team had no defense or continuity and when LKI did do positive things, his contributions were wasted. It could be a difficult second half of the season as I expect him on the bench with doubts on even coming on.
Choi Kyoung Rok-- Played 90 in a win where Karlsruher find themselves suddenly near the promotion spots after spending much of the season near the bottom. Not sure CKR can be credited with this given lack of goals or assists, but should continue to start as it sounds like he's contributing in other ways.
Jeong Woo Yeong-- I'm optimistic about a start for once.
Kwon Chang Hoon-- Out injured.
Son Heung Min-- Sigh, we knew this was the real Tottenham as their defensive frailties showed up again and the lack of a CM who can launch more efficient counters limits Son's effectiveness. Son still had more than a few chances to start, including a goal that was fractionally offside in the first few minutes and another when he scuffed an open shot. The holes were there but Tottenham couldn't exploit it. Son's effectiveness waned in the second half as Kane was subbed off and the playmaking was reduced to nothing. Should start but the schedule starts to get crowded.
